THE 1999 HONDA CR-V WHICH I HAD LEASED FROM THE DEALER AND DELIVERED ON MARCH 9TH, 1999 WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES FOR A STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION OCCURING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 47 AND 52 MPH. ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO BALANCE THE TIRES ON A LEAST 4 OCCASIONS AND I HAD BEEN REFERRED TO THE TIRE MANUFACTURER FOR A POSSIBLE TIRE DEFECT AND REPLACEMENT OF BOTH FRONT TIRES. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED AND THE DEALER REBALANCED THE TIRES ONCE AGAIN BUT TO NO AVAIL. A DETERMINATION WAS MADE TO TAKE 4 TIRES OF A SIMILAR VEHICLE WITH NO WHEEL VIBRATION AND PUT THEM ON MY VEHICLE. THIS AGAIN DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEN DECIDED TO REMOVE THE FRONT AXLE FROM MY VEHICLE AND REPLACE IT WITH THAT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS DID NOT HELP. AT THIS TIME, I REQUESTED THAT MY VEHICLE TO BE RETURNED TO ME AND FILED A DEFECT NOTIFICATION FORM UNDER FLORIDA'S MOTOR VEHICLE LEMON LAW. AMERICAN HONDA'S REPRESENTATIVE HAS CONTACTED ME AND HAS SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEIR FIELD ENGINEER FOR NOVEMBER 16, 1999. I BELIEVE THAT 4 WEEKS IS MUCH TO LONG TO WAIT AS THIS PROBLEM MAY RESULT IN A DRIVING SAFETY HAZARD. THIS VEHICLE IS MY PRIMARY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND AS A DISABLED VETERAN IT IS NEEDED FOR TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM MY REGIONAL VA MEDICAL CENTER. I HAD SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP'S GENERAL MANAGER IN AN ATTEMPT TO TURN IN THIS VEHICLE (WHICH ACTUALLY CAME FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP) FOR SIMILAR VEHICLE AS AN AMICABLE SOLUTION TO THIS SITUATION BUT THIS WAS DENIED.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
ON CERTAIN SEDANS, COUPES, HATCHBACKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 14, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. AN IMPROPERLY ROUTED UNDER DASH WIRE HARNESS COULD BE DAMAGED BY CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A BLOWN FUSE. IF THIS OCCURS, OPERATION OF A CRITICAL COMPONENT CAN BE LOST, INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMPS, TAIL LAMPS, THE ANTI-LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE BRAKES, AND BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF LIGHTING OR A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN BAD WEATHER, COULD BE HAZARDOUS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 70MM PROTECTIVE, CORRUGATED PLASTIC TUBE OVER THE WIRE HARNESS, IN THE AREA OF THE BRAKE STOP SWITCH. IF ANY WIRE OR WIRES ARE DAMAGED, THEY WILL BE REPAIRED.
